Meadow from Twilight New Moon part 3 piano tutorial

[bahrom7893]

Ughh.. lol this is the most annoying part, I can't look at both hands at the same time, so for the most part I either miss the right hand.. or the left hand. But parts 1 and 2 were easy.. still practicing this part :)

[cjpiano79]

@bahrom7893 Practice just looking at one hand. Try this practice method:

Play just the LEFT hand, but look at your RIGHT hand (even though it's not playing).

Then play just the RIGHT hand, but look at your LEFT hand

Then play both hands but only look at the RIGHT hand

Then play both hands but only look at the LEFT hand

Seems weird, but this usually works, good luck!

when i learned parts 1 and 2 i thought "wow that is easy song", but when i saw this part i don't think that anymore.. well mayebe i just need little more practise :D but really good tutorials! thanks!

[allys911]

im on tutorial 4 XD

[TheBlablablaa1]

i'm also a beginner and you teached it very well but it's kinda hard to reach the notes xd

[lmh1996]

Thank you so much. I´m a beginner and now I can play this whole song very well.

[schneefrau87]

ahhhh this part is sooooo hard!!!!!especially with my tiny tiny hands...drives me crazy :(

[scarlettstutorials]

I CAN DO IT NOW yay:) haha you're great teacher thanks.

[scarlettstutorials]

Damn I wish I had longer fingers :( right at the start I can't reach! Tiny hands -.-

[Kurayami00]

Thank you so much, these lessons are awesome, greetings from Austria ;)



[Melleaurelie1996]

@cjpiano79 very nice thanks !!

[pwoperfishful]

Ah thank you so much! I can almost play this whole song perfectly. You are an excellent teacher!

[erinnlaura1]

holy cow thid confuzed me!!!!

[cjpiano79]

@erinnlaura1 baby steps, baby steps. . .

[bambinasVids]

wow, this part ist really difficult. but you are an amazing teacher! thanks for taking the time to show us how to play such a great song!

I own the music sheet but I never really understood how to play it with all the alternating notes. but now i kinda have a feeling for it :D thank you so much.

thumbs up and greetings from germany!

[bazbun]

You are an amazing teacher. I so wish you were in the UK! I've wanted to play piano since I could walk and I'm only just taking lessons now (I'm 28!). I'm good at listening/relaying on the keys but my sight reading of music is shocking so it stops me playing stuff like Desplat. I can play Howard Shore's 'Jacob's Theme' but 'The Meadow' is my favourite so thank you for the excellent videos. x

[artsmylife13]

great tutorials, but its just that my fingers dont reach that far!! :(

[goddessjess]

Thanks cj! ;)

[goddessjess]

Wow this part is difficult bc of the stretch!

[cjpiano79]

@goddessjess read my response "@xAmylim"

[xAmylim]

DAMMIT!, MY FINGURES CANT REACH!! >.<

[cjpiano79]

@xAmylim Are you referring to the left hand part? You don't need to reach all of it at once, swing your arm, rotating on the middle note. Also, you can shift your hand up after the initial 3 notes, and just use thumb and pinky on the 2 notes back and forth. You can see me do it that way sometimes, like at 8'26"

[aimx2e]

I'm having so much trouble getting the right hand and left hand part to go together :'( Doesn't help that my piano is so out of tune I can't be sure I'm playing the right notes!

[cjpiano79]

@aimx2e How are you practicing it? Are you doing small sections at a time? Leave out some things then put them back in.

[aimx2e]

@cjpiano79 I can do the left hand and I can do the right hand separately with the alternating notes. I can do both hands if I'm doing a chord with one or both hands. But I can't get it all together. I'm having difficulty getting the beat right... like which notes get pressed at the same time, if you know what I mean

[cjpiano79]

@aimx2e Just break it down into tiny pieces, even just one note at a time. Line up which one goes with which one, I promise, you can do it! If it's a specific place, tell me where in the video and I'll try to help more.

beauty... excelent

[nika134twilight]

its amazing...waiting for next songs....)))

[poshlady3]

Is this the official version of The Meadow? Or is it one that you made by ear?

[cjpiano79]

@poshlady3 It's from the real sheet music

[poshlady3]

You are a GREAT teacher and I'm so grateful since there're very few tutorials that actually explain how to play the song out there, and other ones I've seen aren't as good as yours! Can you please upload the rest of the song, I've been looking for a long time to find a tutorial like this and, frankly, I hate learning with sheet music. Thank for what you've done though, I learnt it very easily :P

[8fishbone8]

Oh please, please uppload also the last part of this song!!! I really can't find a video, which is so good as your three tutorials! =o

Please... ='(

[LitttleDreamer]

Haha, that dollar sing was meant to be an emoticon ;p

but it's too bad you didn't do the whole song, cause this is so easy to understand, something you can't say about most tutorials on Youtube...

[cjpiano79]

@LitttleDreamer I will probably add more later, but at least you have the main themes =)

[LitttleDreamer]

btw. is this the end of the tutorial? 'cause this is not the whole song, is it? I'd really like learn the whole song ;$

[cjpiano79]

@LitttleDreamer -- I have not done anymore. But is that a dollar sign? I will gladly do it for a small fee, ha ha!!

[LitttleDreamer]

thank you so much ! this is really cool, i can play what's in part 1 and 2 now, but this one is a bit hard.. but I'll keep practicing ;)

[maryluvsu01]

now all i have to do is get the 2nd part right :)

[sarahairis]

Great work. Thanks you =)

[riverrat2011]

YAY! thank you so much. your tutorial for this song is the easiest to understand. thanks.
